fix(wati_service): Add validation for missing access token and deployment configuration

- Add early validation of WATI_ACCESS_TOKEN in service initialization to catch missing configuration
- Implement token validation in _get_headers() method to prevent illegal "Bearer " header values
- Add pre-flight checks in send_otp_message() before attempting API requests
- Strip whitespace from access token to handle edge cases
- Create diagnostic script (check_wati_config.py) to verify WATI configuration in deployment
- Create error handling test script (test_wati_error_handling.py) for validation scenarios
- Add comprehensive documentation (WATI_BEARER_TOKEN_FIX.md) explaining root cause and deployment steps
- Prevents httpcore.LocalProtocolError when WATI_ACCESS_TOKEN is not configured in Docker/Kubernetes environments

+# WATI Bearer Token Error Fix
+
+## Problem
+
+The WATI WhatsApp OTP service was failing with the error:
+```
+httpcore.LocalProtocolError: Illegal header value b'Bearer '
+```
+
+This error occurs when the Authorization header is set to `"Bearer "` (with a space but no actual token), which is an illegal HTTP header value.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+The `WATI_ACCESS_TOKEN` environment variable was **not configured in the deployment environment** (Docker/Kubernetes), even though it was present in the local `.env` file.
+
+When the service runs in a container:
+1. The `.env` file is not copied to the Docker image (by design, for security)
+2. Environment variables must be passed via Docker environment variables or Kubernetes secrets
+3. Without the token, the code was generating `"Bearer "` (empty token), causing the HTTP error
+
+## Solution
+
+### 1. Enhanced Error Handling in `wati_service.py`
+
+Added validation to catch missing/empty tokens early:
+
+```python
+def __init__(self):
+    # ... existing code ...
+    
+    # Validate configuration on initialization
+    if not self.access_token or not self.access_token.strip():
+        logger.warning(
+            "WATI_ACCESS_TOKEN is not configured or is empty. "
+            "WhatsApp OTP functionality will not work."
+        )
+
+def _get_headers(self) -> Dict[str, str]:
+    """Get HTTP headers for WATI API requests."""
+    if not self.access_token or not self.access_token.strip():
+        raise ValueError("WATI_ACCESS_TOKEN is not configured or is empty")
+    
+    return {
+        "Authorization": f"Bearer {self.access_token.strip()}",
+        "Content-Type": "application/json"
+    }
+
+async def send_otp_message(...):
+    # Validate configuration before attempting to send
+    if not self.access_token or not self.access_token.strip():
+        logger.error("WATI_ACCESS_TOKEN is not configured. Cannot send OTP.")
+        return False, "WhatsApp OTP service is not configured", None
+    # ... rest of the code ...
+```
+
+### 2. Updated Helm Deployment Configuration
+
+Added WATI environment variables to `cuatrolabs-deploy/values-auth-ms.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+env:
+  # ... existing env vars ...
+  # WATI WhatsApp API Configuration
+  WATI_API_ENDPOINT: "https://live-mt-server.wati.io/104318"
+  WATI_OTP_TEMPLATE_NAME: "customer_otp_login"
+  WATI_STAFF_OTP_TEMPLATE_NAME: "staff_otp_login"
+  # OTP Configuration
+  OTP_TTL_SECONDS: "600"
+  OTP_RATE_LIMIT_MAX: "10"
+  OTP_RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW: "600"
+
+secretEnv:
+  # ... existing secrets ...
+  # WATI Access Token (sensitive - should be in secrets)
+  WATI_ACCESS_TOKEN: "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9..."
+```
+
+### 3. Created Diagnostic Script
+
+Created `check_wati_config.py` to verify WATI configuration:
+
+```bash
+cd cuatrolabs-auth-ms
+python3 check_wati_config.py
+```
+
+This script checks:
+- Whether WATI_ACCESS_TOKEN is loaded
+- Token length and format
+- Header generation
+
+## Deployment Steps
+
+### For Local Development
+
+The `.env` file already has the correct configuration. No changes needed.
+
+### For Docker/Kubernetes Deployment
+
+1. **Update the deployment** with the new Helm values:
+   ```bash
+   cd cuatrolabs-deploy
+   ./deploy-helm.sh auth-ms
+   ```
+
+2. **Verify the deployment**:
+   ```bash
+   kubectl get pods -l app=auth-ms
+   kubectl logs -l app=auth-ms --tail=50
+   ```
+
+3. **Test the OTP endpoint**:
+   ```bash
+   curl -X POST https://api.cuatrolabs.com/auth/customer/send-otp \
+     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+     -d '{"mobile": "+919999999999"}'
+   ```
+
+### For Production (Best Practice)
+
+Instead of hardcoding the token in `values-auth-ms.yaml`, use Kubernetes secrets:
+
+1. **Create a secret**:
+   ```bash
+   kubectl create secret generic wati-credentials \
+     --from-literal=access-token='eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...'
+   ```
+
+2. **Update the Helm chart** to reference the secret:
+   ```yaml
+   envFrom:
+     - secretRef:
+         name: wati-credentials
+   ```
+
+## Verification
+
+After deployment, check the logs for:
+
+✅ **Success**: `OTP sent successfully via WATI to 919999999999. Message ID: xxx`
+
+❌ **Configuration Error**: `WATI_ACCESS_TOKEN is not configured. Cannot send OTP.`
+
+❌ **API Error**: `WATI API request failed with status 401` (invalid token)
+
+## Files Modified
+
+1. `cuatrolabs-auth-ms/app/auth/services/wati_service.py` - Enhanced error handling
+2. `cuatrolabs-deploy/values-auth-ms.yaml` - Added WATI environment variables
+3. `cuatrolabs-auth-ms/check_wati_config.py` - New diagnostic script (created)

+# WATI Deployment Fix - Quick Reference
+
+## Issue
+`httpcore.LocalProtocolError: Illegal header value b'Bearer '` when sending OTP via WATI.
+
+## Cause
+Missing `WATI_ACCESS_TOKEN` environment variable in deployment configuration.
+
+## Fix Applied
+
+### 1. Code Changes (Already Applied)
+- ✅ Enhanced error handling in `wati_service.py`
+- ✅ Early validation of WATI_ACCESS_TOKEN
+- ✅ Graceful error messages instead of crashes
+
+### 2. Deployment Configuration (Action Required)
+
+**File**: `cuatrolabs-deploy/values-auth-ms.yaml`
+
+Added WATI environment variables:
+```yaml
+env:
+  WATI_API_ENDPOINT: "https://live-mt-server.wati.io/104318"
+  WATI_OTP_TEMPLATE_NAME: "customer_otp_login"
+  WATI_STAFF_OTP_TEMPLATE_NAME: "staff_otp_login"
+  OTP_TTL_SECONDS: "600"
+
+secretEnv:
+  WATI_ACCESS_TOKEN: "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9..."
+```
+
+## Deployment Steps
+
+### Option A: Quick Deploy (Development/Staging)
+
+```bash
+cd cuatrolabs-deploy
+./deploy-helm.sh auth-ms
+```
+
+### Option B: Production Deploy (Recommended)
+
+Use Kubernetes secrets for sensitive data:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create secret
+kubectl create secret generic wati-credentials \
+  --from-literal=WATI_ACCESS_TOKEN='eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ1bmlxdWVfbmFtZSI6ImN0b0BjdWF0cm9sYWJzLmNvbSIsIm5hbWVpZCI6ImN0b0BjdWF0cm9sYWJzLmNvbSIsImVtYWlsIjoiY3RvQGN1YXRyb2xhYnMuY29tIiwiYXV0aF90aW1lIjoiMDIvMDUvMjAyNiAxMjoyODoyMyIsInRlbmFudF9pZCI6IjEwNDMxODIiLCJkYl9uYW1lIjoibXQtcHJvZC1UZW5hbnRzIiwiaHR0cDovL3NjaGVtYXMubWljcm9zb2Z0LmNvbS93cy8yMDA4LzA2L2lkZW50aXR5L2NsYWltcy9yb2xlIjoiQURNSU5JU1RSQVRPUiIsImV4cCI6MjUzNDAyMzAwODAwLCJpc3MiOiJDbGFyZV9BSSIsImF1ZCI6IkNsYXJlX0FJIn0.pC-dfN0w2moe87hD7g6Kqk1ocmgYQiEH3hmHwNquKfY'
+
+# 2. Deploy
+./deploy-helm.sh auth-ms
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+### 1. Check Pod Status
+```bash
+kubectl get pods -l app=auth-ms
+kubectl logs -l app=auth-ms --tail=100 | grep WATI
+```
+
+### 2. Test OTP Endpoint
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:7860/customer/send-otp \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "mobile": "+919999999999"
+  }'
+```
+
+**Expected Success Response**:
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "message": "OTP sent successfully via WhatsApp"
+}
+```
+
+**Expected Error (if still not configured)**:
+```json
+{
+  "success": false,
+  "message": "WhatsApp OTP service is not configured"
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Check Configuration (Inside Pod)
+```bash
+kubectl exec -it <auth-ms-pod> -- python3 check_wati_config.py
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Error: "WhatsApp OTP service is not configured"
+- ✅ Environment variable not set in deployment
+- **Fix**: Redeploy with updated `values-auth-ms.yaml`
+
+### Error: "Illegal header value b'Bearer '"
+- ✅ Empty WATI_ACCESS_TOKEN
+- **Fix**: Check secret/configmap has the token
+
+### Error: "WATI API request failed with status 401"
+- ❌ Invalid or expired token
+- **Fix**: Get new token from WATI dashboard
+
+### Error: "WATI API request failed with status 404"
+- ❌ Wrong API endpoint or template name
+- **Fix**: Verify WATI_API_ENDPOINT and template names
+
+## Files Modified
+
+1. ✅ `app/auth/services/wati_service.py` - Error handling
+2. ✅ `cuatrolabs-deploy/values-auth-ms.yaml` - Deployment config
+3. ✅ `check_wati_config.py` - Diagnostic tool
+4. ✅ `test_wati_error_handling.py` - Test script
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Deploy the fix**: Run `./deploy-helm.sh auth-ms`
+2. **Verify logs**: Check for WATI initialization warnings
+3. **Test OTP**: Send test OTP to verify functionality
+4. **Monitor**: Watch for any WATI-related errors in logs
+
+## Support
+
+For WATI-related issues:
+- Check logs: `kubectl logs -l app=auth-ms --tail=200 | grep -i wati`
+- Run diagnostics: `kubectl exec -it <pod> -- python3 check_wati_config.py`
+- Review docs: `WATI_INTEGRATION_OVERVIEW.md`
